What Crosses My Mind

  • A Buddhist Retreat In My Mind

    Well I suppose it is interchangeable how one might begin their day. We are all unique and yet so clearly the same in our common ways, those often ignored sometimes referred mundane. Begin a day with sunlight feel it radiate through the blinds, those that we all have all similar in a way. I once…

  • Fighting Chance

    It’s one to lose hope, to walk alongside fate, we all imagine a vanity keeps us penned to the ground. When told it’s all right we would rather deny ourselves any judgment. Yet, speaking of all there always seems a penchant for remorse when coming to terms. Asking along the walk what if we decide…

  • Walking Alone

    I knew what my life was the whole time every street I took every lamp post I waited for some sign every night. I walked home alone, and wondered how long this journey would ever take me. I kept walking and wandered free. I tried to ignore a judgment, stronger than my own, I tried…

  • Taking A Walk

    A sense of composure Came over me A breezy afternoon Trees had begun their bloom Red-winged blackbird Nearby, keeping safe Mallards in the pond Swimming Noticed the bus stop Kids pouring out Home for the day My watch at home Though knew the time of day An afternoon walk An isolate journey A quiet day…

  • Lost Moments

    In our lives we have many experiences travails of innocence no one has an answer to suggest an outcome only hitch on, grab a strand of burlap, feel the dust build underneath our psyche and ride on. ~ I’ve always enjoyed the horizon seeing wheat fields flowing in an autumn breeze, the fresh blossoms of…

  • Taking Walks

    When once I chose to ruminate today I will stroll, a will to know to see to wonder. In winter and in summer we might spring forward with a passion rather than fall upon our sword. There is a certain beauty in that, to know suddenly the benefit of a spatial fascination. Might be the…

  • A Walk Inside A Dream

    Took a walk inside a dream, seemed the same, each waking moment, a breath of wonder then wander back inside visit old friends stir memories of an attitude the sort of look in an eye when we might fall into the shell of our selves inside the dream everything happens we sometimes wish away from…

  • Just Taking a Walk in the Neighbrohood

    I was listening to a some Tom Waits the other day, puts me in a certain frame of mind, if you know, you know what I mean, you know what I want to say, so I just listen to the blues and try to find my way.   I was thinking just the other day,…

  • If I Could See to Share

    A dark sky can loom forever, waiting, an eager participant, life happens, so they say, storms occur in unabashed fury to temper the imagination that which might arise in the dullest night when life needs hope, perhaps another request, the sort of asking forgiveness when well beyond the realm the life we knew became the regret…

  • We Were Smiling (inspired by Tinsley Ellis)

    Just another day, walking, we were smiling, a lasting sunlight, I remember the day, a golden meadow field ahead, our usual place, we were smiling, I  knew there were painful moments, but just today, let’s keep  it, let’s go with the sunlight, let the smiles remain, those are so delightful, your smile, alone, I remember…
